Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup onion finely diced
  • ½ cup green bell pepper finely chopped
  • ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or sub with half-and-half or heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 10-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.

  • Beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Stir in the ham, shredded cheese, and sautéed vegetables.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a 9×13-inch baking dish instead of a square one to cut the baking time to about 30 minutes.
  • Try adding mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes for extra texture and taste.
  • Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
  • A pinch of cayenne or some diced jalapeños can add a bit of spice.
